At First Federated Church, our values are more than guiding principles—they are the expression of our love for Jesus and our commitment to live as His people in the earth. They shape our culture, direct our decisions, and define how we walk together as a Spirit-filled family:
Presence of God – We prioritize the presence of God above all else, believing that everything flows from intimacy with Him. We seek to create space for genuine encounters where lives are changed, hearts are healed, and His glory is revealed.
Scripture & Truth – We stand firmly on the Word of God as our unshakable foundation. The Bible is our authority for faith and life, and we are committed to teaching, living, and rightly applying its truth with clarity and conviction.
Worship & Prayer – We cultivate a lifestyle of passionate worship and continual prayer. Whether gathered corporately or in our daily lives, we pursue God’s heart through praise, intercession, and surrender, knowing that prayer fuels revival and transformation.
Community & Family – We are a spiritual family, not just a congregation. We value authentic relationships marked by love, unity, honor, and grace, where every person is seen, known, and welcomed.
Discipleship & Growth – We are committed to raising up mature believers who reflect Christ in every area of life. Through teaching, mentoring, and activation, we equip people to grow in their faith and walk confidently in their God-given calling.
Mission & Outreach – We believe the love of Jesus must be demonstrated, not just declared. We actively serve our local community and partner in global missions, bringing hope, compassion, and the message of the Gospel to those in need.
Power of the Holy Spirit – We embrace the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit and the gifts He gives to the Church. We believe the supernatural life is the normal Christian life, and we seek to walk in His power through healing, prophecy, deliverance, and bold faith.
These values reflect our heart to see people encounter God, be transformed by His love, and become carriers of His presence, bringing the reality of His Kingdom into every sphere of life, today and for generations to come.
